The speech criticized \u2063LGBTQ pride and cultural values, earning mixed reactions.

Media <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/irate-leftists-wage-war-chiefs-star-kicker-conservative\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">leftists of all stripes<\/a> used the occasion to tar and feather Butker, himself a Catholic, for holding those traditional values \u2014 often using <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/nike-continues-bizarre-obsession-colin-kaepernick-releases-new-woke-apparel-collaboration\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Colin Kaepernick<\/a> as a cudgel against the Chiefs and the NFL.<\/p>\n<p>Even the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/return-redskins-nfl-head-coach-caught-bootleg-merchandise-subtle-allusion\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">NFL<\/a> has distanced itself from Butker\u2019s remarks: \u201cHarrison Butker gave a speech in his personal capacity,\u201d said Jonathan Beane, NFL senior vice president and chief diversity and inclusion officer, in a Thursday statement, according to <a href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/harrison-butker-chiefs-homemaker-nfl-5466d7b3560f640c825107df9694b07b\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The Associated Press<\/a>. \u201cHis views are not those of the NFL as an organization. The NFL is steadfast in our commitment to inclusion, which only makes our league stronger.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>If it was all that bad, you would think the man would be a pariah. And yet, his comments seemingly have made his jersey among the best-selling in the NFL, according to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/sports\/chiefs-harrison-butker-jersey-ranked-among-nfls-best-sellers-amid-kickers-faith-based-commencement-address\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Fox News<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs of Thursday, Butker\u2019s jersey appears to be among the most in-demand fan gear on NFL.com. Chiefs star quarterback Patrick Mahomes\u2019 jersey is also listed among the league\u2019s bestselling jerseys,\u201d the outlet noted.<\/p>\n<p>However, kickers aren\u2019t necessarily the kind of people whose jerseys people own. As a New York Giants fan, I\u2019d make an exception for <a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/jIJY6Zv7uiA?si=I17RPpbNggQxdCgP&#038;t=1365\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Scott Norwood\u2019s<\/a> Bills uniform, but that\u2019s about it.<\/p>\n<p>So what did Butker say at Kansas\u2019 Benedictine College that has the left furious and fans celebrating him for standing up for his values?<\/p>\n<p>For starters, the 28-year-old took a shot at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/lgbt-pride-festival-forced-relocate-youth-zone-arts-center-bans-drag-front-children\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">LGBT pride<\/a>, saying that while graduates should be proud of their school, it should not be \u201cthe-deadly-sins sort of pride that has an entire month dedicated to it, but the true, God-centered pride that is cooperating with the Holy Ghost to glorify him.\u201d<\/p>\n<div id=\"firefly-poll-container\">\n<p>Do you stand with Harrison Butker?<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Furthermore, he took shots at Democrats and leftists for promoting \u201cdegenerate cultural values\u201d and \u201cdisorder\u201d while slamming President Joe Biden for his status as a \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/devout-catholic-biden-butchers-bible-verse-reading-makes-sunday-school-style-mistake\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">devout Catholic<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOur own nation is led by a man who publicly and proudly proclaims his Catholic faith but at the same time is delusional enough to make the sign of the cross during a pro-abortion rally,\u201d the kicker said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFrom the man behind the COVID lockdowns to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/nfl-player-rips-biden-for-murder-of-innocent-babies-at-college-commencement-speech\/\" title=\"NFL player criticizes Biden for stance on abortion at college graduation ceremony\">people pushing dangerous gender ideologies<\/a> onto the youth of America, they all have a glaring thing in common \u2014 they are Catholic.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He also noted sadly that these policies aren\u2019t unusual.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhile COVID might have played a large role throughout your formative years, it is not unique,\u201d Butker said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBad policies and poor leadership have <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/chiefs-kicker-slams-biden-and-dei-in-commencement-speech\/\" title=\"Chiefs Kicker Criticizes Biden and DEI in Speech\">negatively impacted major life issues<\/a>. Things like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/women-found-loophole-get-abortions-despite-state-bans-numbers-getting-worse\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">abortion<\/a>, IVF, surrogacy, euthanasia, as well as a growing support for degenerate cultural values and media, all stem from pervasiveness of disorder.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, he encouraged female graduates to embrace their future role as wives and mothers as opposed to giving it up to focus on job security, saying the \u201chave had the most diabolical lies told to you.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHow many of you are sitting here now, about to cross this stage, and are thinking about all the promotions and titles you are going to get in your career? Some of you may go on to lead successful careers in the world, but I would venture to guess that the majority of you are most excited about your marriage and the children you will bring into this world,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>The full speech is here. Trigger warning to libs, I suppose \u2014 biblical truth is ahead:<\/p>\n<p> <iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Harrison Butker | Commencement Address 2024 | Benedictine College\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/-JS7RIKSaCc?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m not entirely sure why this raised so many hackles to full mast, given that this is what an <em>actual<\/em> \u201cdevout Catholic\u201d looks like. Furthermore, Butker hasn\u2019t been cagey about his faith. Those who view his profile on X, formerly Twitter, will notice that \u201cChristus Regnat\u201d \u2014 \u201cChrist reigns\u201d in Latin \u2014 is the first thing on the bio, before \u201cHusband &#038; Father,\u201d his role with the Chiefs and his three Super Bowl championships.
